State-of-the-Art Technology, With a Personal Touch: Pearl City resident, Marlan Nashiwa chose Pali Momi for treatment since she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. At Pali Momi’s Women’s Center, every woman receives a long-stemmed rose after her appointment. Marlan looks forward to hers at every visit. “I really appreciate the rose – I even bring a cup of water with me to put it in for the short ride home. Little touches like this make me feel comfortable.”
